Basketball Crunchy Shark

Chapter 294 A straw

Carlisle worked hard to prepare for the battle, and even used everything he could. Of course, Old Brown did not give up. These days of rest are not just for these titans to face the wall. The daily training and combination confrontation have not stopped for a moment.

Outside the three-point line of the Pistons, Lin Sa jumped out to defend Artest who was holding the ball. The offense was just the icing on the cake for the Pistons' first team, and they were good at defending until the opponent hit their head against the wall.

Lin Sa, his man-marking target today is Artest. The old Brown didn't want Lin Sa to face Artest, but this was Lin Sa's own fight.

To be honest, Artest is indeed a little mentally unbalanced when he sees Lin Sa now. Not only Lin Sa, but the group of 03 students all let him take the lead. However, as a professional defender, Artest still didn't counterattack immediately and kept calm. After all, the championship is still good.

The old Miller over there was online, pulled out and gave Lin Sa a pick and roll from outside the three-point line. Miller felt a pain in his ribs while picking and rolling, and felt a little uncomfortable after taking a shot of Lin Sa's powerful diamond finger.

However, the comeback came at a price, and the elder Miller still successfully liberated Artest. In the right corner, Artest gained a gap and gave the ball to Jermaine O'Neill under the basket.

The hope of the whole village, Xiao Ao stood up and slammed into Da himself viciously!
'boom'!
Two top-fitting bodies collided, and the muffled sound made those who heard it grit their teeth. These two guys were completely animals in human skin. As a result of the collision, because Xiao Ao picked up his speed, he jumped a little higher, which took advantage.

Big Ben rubbed his chest, Xiao Ao was indeed very aggressive, although he possessed absolute strength, but Xiao Ao had speed, his short-distance burst was very high, and Xiao Ao with high speed couldn't hit Big Ben.

Then, don't let him speed up!
Billups advances to the frontcourt, and Artest next to Lin Sa has turned into a follower. He will go wherever Lin Sa goes. Fortunately, the Pacers will pick and roll, and the Pistons will also. When Rasheed Wallace appeared between Lin Sa and Artest, Lin Sa also got an open spot.

When it was time to make a shot, Lin Sa was absolutely unambiguous, and there was a big Ben under the basket, which was very supportive.

Even in the NBA arena, Lin Sa easily got back two points and the score was 4-5.

The Pacers and Pistons have a high degree of overlap in their player composition and tactics this year. To put it bluntly, their strategy is to use the toughest defense and the most disgusting routines to torture their opponents crying for help.

The defensive strategies of the Pistons and Pacers this year have caused countless players to wake up in the middle of the night, even if those players who woke up have already been eliminated.

Harrington dribbled the ball across half court, ignored Artest's signal for the ball, and gave the ball directly to Miller. The Pistons' defense was very tight. When the ball reached Miller, Hamilton also killed it on time.

The whole team stuck to the defense, and Jermaine didn't stick to the basket anymore, but came out to meet the wave. With Jerome as the wall, Miller was calm, 2-point shot, and then went in. Today, Miller's touch is very good.

In the transition between offense and defense, Lin Sa directly hit the Pacers' center line this time. When Billups got the ball, Lin Sa had already dribbled close to the defensive Artest.

Facing Artest, Lin Sa changed his center of gravity and used the Wolf King's first step to forcibly pass through Artest's defense when he stepped back. However, facing the Pacers, Lin Sa's assault did not go all the way. Xiao Ao appeared behind Artest immediately. Facing the tall and long-armed Xiao Ao, Lin Sa had already lost his shooting space without drawing cards.

Forced to pass, Rasheed Wallace catches and throws a bat, hit!

The Pistons and the Pacers know each other well, so it is expected that the game will be anxious. With the old Miller's three-pointer, the Pacers are also playing very steadily. Moreover, they still have the newly transferred Wu Sheng on the bench. The sudden emergence of Max makes Blair a little uncomfortable.

At first, everyone was equally divided, but after the Pistons added Max, Carlisle lost confidence in the second team of the Pistons. It's not that Max is so incomprehensible, but because of his existence, the Pistons have more tactical choices. A straw is often the key to victory.

Carlisle didn't want to overuse Jermaine O and Artest. The former was due to his age, while the latter was due to his brain. Therefore, it was very necessary to introduce a new striker. Wu Sheng, who was still talking, joined the Pacers on the line of fire.

With him around, Carlisle doesn't panic.

In the first half of the first quarter, it can be said that the Pacers and Pistons were testing each other, and the result was basically as expected. Therefore, the coaches of both sides began to operate. First of all, Lin Sa was replaced, and Prince replaced him. On the other side of the Pacers, Jamal was also replaced, and the martial artist Stephen Jackson replaced him.

Old Brown's change is the original form of the five tigers, while Blair's change is to abandon the inherent lineup and choose Jackson who has not yet completed the run-in.

The two rookies pressed on, and the firepower became more fierce. First of all, Wu Sheng was hard-headed and carried Da Ben to the basket. At that time, Da Ben pushed Wu Sheng angrily, and was forced to add a penalty. In fact, Wu Sheng did not offend Da Ben.

Wu Sheng's free throw percentage was good, and the extra penalty was also hit. He scored 3 points for his new team when he came up. The old Miller patted Wu Sheng's waist to encourage him. Artest snorted and turned his head. Wu Sheng was also surprised.

However, anyway, the contract has been signed, and Wu Sheng is not going to indulge Artest's bad temper, everyone will fight their own way.

With the addition of Martial Saints, the Pacers' mid-range threat is even stronger. After Lin Sa left the court, Prince was a little bit unable to open up the offense, so he could only keep confronting Artest.

In a blink of an eye, the Pacers made great achievements on the inside, all kinds of strong shots, back shots, jump shots, and layups. On the contrary, the Pistons seemed to have entered the dead pit of defense and could not get out.
